The only deviation is in the electrical circuit, where the LED is tied to PB0 (Pin 5) of ATtiny85 (don’t forget to comment/uncomment concerned code lines). In general, it is better to do a digitalWrite high instead of an analogWrite 255 where possible, just from a cleanliness of code standpoint. It is surmised that the leading or trailing edges of all LEDs on such displays being synchronized causes some people to notice flicker in a moving visual far more than if the edges were to be offset as per intensity of each LED, as happens with symmetric PWM. So we can use a simple formula for routine calculations: level 255/5 x effective voltage The experimental code for ATtiny85 is the same as the Arduino Sketch, as indicated. IIRC, the threshold for where analog goes from digital high to digital low is around 170 or so depending on microcontroller, so you could get away with numbers besides 0 and 255. arduino's choice of calling the PWM function 'analogWrite' is a poor choice of name, ie a red herring. This is when PWM is used for driving LEDs for a color graphical "advertorial / entertainment" display such as the big TV-type displays used at railway stations and other public places Provide 8-bit PWM output with the analogWrite() function. There is one specific situation where apparently symmetric PWM is considered important - though I have not found definitive validation of this premise. The first disadvantage may be moot as many modern microcontrollers have symmetric PWM mode built into their PWM modules, so the programmer does not need to do much extra.įor very harmonic-sensitive purposes, such as control of sensitive motors and actuators, the lower harmonic overhead of symmetric PWM is critical. The 8-bit PWM value that you set when you call the analogWrite function: analogWrite(myPWMpin, 128) Outputs a square wave is compared against the value in an 8-bit counter. Disadvantage 2: The best resolution available for duty cycle for a symmetric PWM is two clock ticks of the PWM timer/counter, as opposed to 1 clock tick for asymmetric On the Arduino UNO and YourDuino RoboRED etc., pins 3,5,6, 9, 10, 11 can be configured for PWM output.analogWrite sends a pulsed output via the PWM pins and so can be used to dim an LED or passed through a filter to produce a voltage other than the digital high voltage. It is simply easier to count down and reset-at-zero a timer determining duty cycle to change PWM state, and set (start) the timer based on another timer at the PWM frequency. If so I'll save you the trouble of just Googling it and tell you that they are very different, so just use digitalWrite unless you know that you really need analogWrite. Disadvantage 1: Slightly more complicated PWM generation mechanism when using timer/counter overflows.The advantage of symmetric PWM thus is better utilization of applied power, with less power wasted on undesired harmonics.It has been shown that symmetric PWM signals generate fewer harmonics in the output currents and voltages PWM can be symmetric (center aligned) or asymmetric (rising edge / left aligned or falling edge / right aligned):Īs mentioned in the above referenced Texas Instruments application note:
